Heremias (Unang aklat: Ang alamat ng prinsesang bayawak)

This is an extremely simple story, elegantly elaborated. We primarily follow a single character on a somnolent trajectory. The fist plot development occurs about and hour-and-a-half into the movie. There are minor scenes and sequences that shine with quiet poignancy. The lengthy hooligan freakout sequence (w/ its indelibly Shakespearean eavesdropping) is something else. Features Lav's own guitar work. It's bananas.
